	        Bm           G 
I'll keep my faith alive 
              Em               F# 
Cause this is paradise for parasites 
Bm        G 
I can't believe my eyes 
                      Em               F# 
Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes 
Bm                G 
The streets won't sleep tonight 
Em     F#               Bm 
A lullaby for the half alive 
         G 
The city swings and whines 
Em                     F# 
To the double crime of drugs and hard times 
Bm          G               Em          F# 
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away 
Bm          G               D          F# 
Lion city's sirens sing the night away 
A        Bm 
The city feels like a cage 
G            D 
Feels like a powder keg 
Bm            G        F# 
That's almost set to explode 


Bm G Em F# (same chords the whole verse) 

Lion city's begun to rot 
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops 
The scene from the ground up 
From the painted walls to the rooftops 
Lion city's closed and locked 
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks 
The haves and the have-nots 
Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots 

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away 
Bm          G               D          F# 
Lion city's sirens sing the night away 
Bm                     G 
There's an overdose on 8th 
       Em               F# 
And he does the cocaine shake 
          Bm          G               D          F# 
Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away 

A        Bm 
The city seems like it's trapped 
G        D                   A 
Between it's future and it's past 
        Bm         G        D      A 
Life or death of a city not coming back 
A        Bm 
The city feels like a cage 
G            D 
Feels like a powder keg 
Bm            G        F# 
And now it's gonna explode 

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away 
Lion city's sirens sing the night away 
There's an overdose on 8th 
And he's wearing a blue face 
Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away 
Bm G          D       F# 
     Sing the night away 
Bm G          D       F# 
     Sing the night away 
G              F# 
And I won't be long
